Opinion

No. 95-3711.

September 25, 1996.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; James I. Cohn, Judge; L.T. Case No. 95-5640CF10A.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Melynda L. Melear, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Although we are concerned about the time limitations imposed by the trial court on voir dire examination, appellant did not preserve this issue for appeal, because he affirmatively accepted the jury without renewing his prior objection. Joiner v. State, 618 So.2d 174, 176 (Fla. 1993); Stripling v. State, 664 So.2d 2, 3 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995).

AFFIRMED.

GLICKSTEIN, WARNER and GROSS, JJ., concur.
